Congrats on your supercharger. Expecting 500+ rwhp is very reasonable. That would equate to low 11's / high 10's depending on track conditions and driver.

How much boost do you plan to run? Which head unit did you decide to go with?

Order a kit from A&A or ECS as they have the most reliable kits on the market. If you do go with the ATI setup go with the DS1C unit. I have an A&A DS1C setup and really like how the setup looks and performs

If your tranny is stock you WILL be looking at a re-build in the near future if you are over 400 RWHP. The higher the HP the sooner the re-build. Talk to Carman and feel him out on the subject, he won't steer you wrong, the Vette Doctors are a class act.

When they program your computer for the sc, I think they can program improvements to the way your trans operates, fluid pressures and shift points. You might consider a better cooler for the trans and a fluid flush. Heat is an enemy.
D1SC is a good choice.
